Home, I'm Darling

The latest show headed to the Duke of York’s Theatre is a comedy by Laura Wade that will allow audiences to witness the performing talents of Katherine Parkinson. This wonderful production, which previously played at the National Theatre, will take audiences on a hilarious and memorable journey with some wonderfully colourful characters.

Whilst Home, I’m Darling is set in the 21st century, its main character Judy is attempting to live in a different era altogether and this juxtaposition has proved to be a great success not only at the National Theatre but also at its original home of the Theatr Clwyd in North Wales.

Judy (Parkinson) embarks on an unusual task following her redundancy in Home, I’m Darling as she decides to be a perfect 1950s housewife in the modern day. But during the course of the show it is clear that this will be harder than it seems in a story that explores the concept of marriage and what does (and doesn’t) hold it together.

It is a concept that has won-over audiences and critics alike, so expect West End theatregoers to delight in some great performances, hilarious writing and colourful sets as Home, I’m Darling opens in January.

The presence of Katherine Parkinson will also ensure that audiences enjoy the work of a familiar talent in the West End. She is known around the country for her appearances on television in the likes of The IT Crowd, Doc Martin and Humans, but she has also carved out a successful career on the stage. Her credits in the capital and beyond include Dead Funny at the Vaudeville Theatre, Before The Party at the Almeida Theatre, Absent Friends at the Harold Pinter Theatre and The School For Scandal at the Barbican Theatre, amongst a host of others.

These credits and more ensure that she is the perfect choice to bring life to Laura Wade’s memorable character of Judy at the Duke of York’s Theatre.

Home, I’m Darling follows on from Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke when it runs at the West End’s Duke of York’s Theatre from Tuesday 5th February 2019 (previews from Saturday 26th January 2019).
